The fact that our eyes detect movement very easily has helped me many times. Even in daylight it's easy to hide just by staying still and not "obstructing" light, if that makes any sense.
[editline]13th August 2011[/editline]
Oh, and we humans have a built-in nightvision too. Before going to a room/place with a light, close your another eye and keep it closed while in the room with light. When you re-enter a dark room again, open your another eye, and you can see in the dark much quicker.
[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;31710821]Ok, so the doorway going into the living room from the dining room is right next to the one for the basement. Then you go through the living room and go up the stairs. Right next to the stairs is a doorway to my parents' room then there's a tiny corner then there's my room.
If you want pictures I'd be happy to provide them.[/QUOTE]
Pictures please.
I'm pretty good at Camouflage and Concealment at cadets, 19/20 in field-craft for it. I'll give you a proper guide that we are taught at a pretty basic level.
Shape-This is broken up using DPM clothing and camouflage cream, as well as using foliage to blend in with the surrounding area and break up the outline of head and shoulders.
Sound-Be as quite as possible. Using techniques such as kitten crawling, ghost walking etc. Also includes padding out anything that might rattle, especially if you are wearing webbing.
Shadow-Being aware of your shadow, so it doesn't give away your position, and using shadow to your advantage to hide in.
Silhouette- This mainly involves avoiding "Sky-Lining" where you create a silhouette of yourself against the horizon at the top of a hill or something.
Shine- Making sure nothing shines on you. You prevent your face from shining with cam cream, but too much can make your face shine even more.
Movement- Slow movement; as quick movement draws the eye. Also stop dead still if you think you've been spotted.
I can go on if you want anymore info.
As for night vision, it takes roughly 30 minutes for your rod (night) cells to take over from your cone (day) cells in your eye. White light destroys your night vision, but red light doesn't, so red lights should be used at night. You also have a blind spot at night in the center of your eye, as the rod cells are arranged round the cone cells.
Also Metal gear solid 4 had 1 surprisingly realistic move snipers do. In the game, lay flat on the ground and ever so slightly tilt the stick forward. Yes that odd undulating move is a move used by real life snipers to move extremely god dam slow and sneak through high grass. Takes allot of stamina and strength, but when you don't want to get caught it is a must.
Also for true stealth, Make your self a gillie suit. First do what you see in most tutorials. Then depending on the area you are going to use the suit in, find the plants and other stuff that is located roughly on the ground of the place you are going to sneak, take allot of it and tie it into the suit. Drag it through similar terrain via using a car and a rope. Repeat the tie in process, and then compare it to the terrain by laying it down somewhere.
A good gillie suit should be easily lost if you dropped it left it for a few hours and then tried to find it again with no terrain markers to judge relative position. as it should look like it just melts into the ground when you lay it down.
Thanks for all these extra little tutorials guys.
Aaaah I remember one time at a BBQ I hid in the grass, the sprinkler system came on but I didn't care. My friend was running around looking for me (we were playing Manhunt) and he walked right past me along with another person. Finally I got up and ran up behind him and scared the crap out of him and he dropped his Pepsi.
pretty funny night and I felt like a G.
[QUOTE=elitehakor v2;31698689]How do I get past wooden floorboards?[/QUOTE]
The same way Snake does it. Just wait until they are looking somewhere else, or stretching or something. Whisper "Freeze!" and poke their back with something.

Just replayed it. I love how the Gurlukovich mercs are the stupidest of the troops yet they are tasked to protect the prez.
Just stole 20 bucks from my brother with these techniques.
I was literally right behind him too.
You're never too old to play hide and seek

I've done a lot of sneaking in my time.
A couple years ago, me and my friend (hopefully) invented [i]ninja'ing[/i] and put our skills to the test.
You may ask, "Quark, what the hell is [i]ninja'ing[/i], and why are we putting [i] tags around it?"
Well, ninja'ing is where you, and a friend, dress up like a ninja, and quietly patrol streets at night until you see someone (there's one person almost every night), which is when you'll scare the hell out of them.
How do you do it??
First off, dress in tight, black clothing. Find a black T-Shirt and follow this guide:
[img]http://cache.gyazo.com/ad6a2cbeb932210bd517cb44b0d384e6.png[/img]
(After you make the ninja-mask, tuck the excess cloth under your tight-black clothing.
Now that you're dressed up as a ninja, it's time to hit the streets. Follow the steps in the OP if this thread to try to remain unnoticed. Stay away from street lights if possible. Wait until you see someone.
When you see someone, motion to your friend to begin circling the person quietly. Begin making ninja-sounds and whispering in fake (or real..) Japanese. This person, if they don't have a gun, will be scared senseless and take off running.
[b]You've successfully gone [i]ninja'ing![/i][/b]

how am late i seriously just wrote this u nerdes
it's 0:17 AM I just used the tips to go downstairs cracky stairs to get water. I think I was pretty succesful because the dog didn't even notice me usually it notices me from even a small sound.
Sweet, now when I get the munchies, I can get food and avoid confrontation.
~Pro tip~
If you want to look around a corner, don't press your back to it and look around, lay down and slowly ease your eyes up past the corner. People don't normally look down there so you'll be fine.

Yes, I also learn all of my stealth tactics from Splinter Cell and Hitman.
I remember when I was young, fooling my 4 friends while I was at their house playing "hide and go seek".
I was in a somewhat bright color shirt.
I was literally sitting on top of the fridge which oddly enough is like in the middle of their kitchen for some odd reason. They kept looking at me "mind you it was somewhat dark, but not impossible to see", but they never discovered me and kept going off to look at something else. While they weren't looking I could talk to them, and convinced them not to turn on the lights to the rest of the house. Roughly 40 minutes after that, I finally revealed my self to them.
What they said when they finally realized it was me on top of the fridge after revealing my self is they thought I looked like a pot, or some other thing set on top of the fridge.
Before playing that game I remember the most important key to stealth my dad ever said, "Movement catches the eye, it's what we were adapted to see". So when I hid that one night, I hid with my arms locked, and particularly my face covered by my legs so they couldn't see the identifying features of a human body "eyes, ears, head". It was silly how well it worked.
I always sneak up on my super sensitive toy poodle for stealth practice.
I'm in my aunts house, and staying one more night. It should be pretty fun to attempt to sneak upstairs and complete my objective: Aquire a glass of water. I'll post results tomarrow night.

A quick google found me this. Put this in the op if it isn't there already.
Glad you guys liked this. I'm gonna scare my brother right now.
A really funny stealth trick, attach a small paperclip to a string. Before you get behind someone you have to tie off the string to something solid like a door knob.
If you are really silent you can slip the paperclip end into someones back belt loop.
Very hilarious to do in hide and go seek.
Also fishing string works best.
If done with other tricks it can freak out noobs who do not look around to see the cause of sudden pulling on their cloths ect.
[QUOTE=Zovox;31698799]I remember once when I was in the bathroom right before I was going to bed. My brother sneaked into my room and hid under my computer bench. When I walked into the room, I turned off the lights before I even saw he was under there. I jumped into my bed to sleep and after like 2 minutes I heard heavy breathing and scratching noises. I opened my eyes and refused to close them as I was lying there in the dark. After a while my eyes got used to the darkness and the room became brighter. Soon enough I saw someone sitting under the bench and I litteraly shat myself and screamed. I hit the light button and I saw my brother sitting under there, laughing so much he cried. I was like 11 by then. :v:[/QUOTE]
My brother did that to me the other night, when I was on my ipod getting just ready to masturbate he shoved a banana in my mouth and ran out.
I had no idea that he was in my room for a full 30 minutes inching his way on the floor, now I never jerk off in my room.
Woo I scared him good that time.

A banana? :v:
I was going to make this thread, never got round to doing it. I think OP did a better job than I would have, so nice one.
Couple of tips for household oriented sneaking -
If you're gonna be on thick carpet, go barefoot, for everything else, wear thin socks.
Try to be aware of every single movement you make, and also dont forget about your clothing. Does it have anything hanging off it? Zips? Cord Ties? Tuck them in. The tighter the clothes, the better.
Finally, when placing a held object onto a hard surface, try to imagine you are landing a plane, gently slide it on at an angle. Aviod the edge of the surface.
Gonna go make a ninja hoodie thing with my shirt and scare the fuck out of my brother.
It's time to grab a dark shirt, my chestrig, some camo pants and a balaclava!
This thread reminds me of pick pocketing in school. Kids in my class were always dumb and had their keys on lanyards hanging out of their pockets. Obviously an easy target. The most important thing was to make sure the target didn't notice you walking towards them, and it was always important to make a sideways pass behind them, and never back to front. That way you can conceal the movement of your hand as you take the item and pocket it back.
Obviously I'd give the kids the keys back within a minute or two. Taught them a lesson on not keeping their keys exposed.
I got pretty good at it. Bump into someone from behind as I'm moving left to right, say sorry as I snatch the object, and haul out of there. I even managed to take keys from a kid's belt once. He used those climbing clips on his belt and kept his keys on there. I managed to unlatch the keys and pocket them without the kid noticing.
It also helped me become aware of how to protect my shit in crowded places.
yeah i am like a ninja it was great pulling crazy ninja shit at my brother to scare him and then he'd get mad because i made him die in halo
